Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has disclosed that he earns a monthly salary of N503,000, while Permanent Secretaries in the state receive N900,000.
The governor made the disclosure on Thursday, August 20, while speaking in Asaba, the state capital.
Oborevwori explained that the salaries of Permanent Secretaries were increased after they complained that some directors were earning almost as much as they did.
He said the adjustment was made to address the disparity, adding that the Head of Service earns N1 million monthly.
The governor also jokingly remarked that some officials may not want their spouses to know how much they earn.
According to him, “When the Permanent Secretaries said most of the Directors are receiving almost the same thing with them, we increased their money. Today, Permanent Secretaries… Your salary is N900,000, my salary is N503,000, Governor’s salary. Head of Service is N1 million.”
